2.4 PRECISION DRIVE MECHANISM SETUP/CONNECTION
A suitable test fixture or vice should be used to hold the device for test. The
drive mechanism force sensor must be centered over the device button,
dome, etc., to which force is to be applied. The sensor must not be in contact
with the device for test (allow at least a 1/16-inch gap). If the optional
platform was purchased, the height of the force sensor above the device for
test can be easily adjusted by loosening the knobs and raising and lowering
the Precision Drive Mechanism to the desired position, and tightening the
knobs.
WARNING
Support the Precision Drive Mechanism when loosening
the knobs or the mechanism will slip on the post,
possibly damaging the force transducer and/or the
device under test.
The Precision Drive Mechanism cable connector connects to the rear of the
921A electronic unit using the two screws provided. Refer to Figure 2.2.
Carefully remove the two screws, at the sides of the opening in the rear
panel. Carefully mate the cable connector with the connector recessed in the
rear panel opening. Secure with the two screws removed above.
